Now, I'm far from expert compiler but is it me or something is missing from devx?
Does Racy uses the standard T2 toolchain?_________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

Trying Racy on a VIA C7-M machine with the VIA VX855/VX875 chipset (OLPC XO-1.5) and a 2.6.35 (OLPC) kernel that inactivates the synaptic driver.
The result is that Racy boots to desktop but keyboard and mouse are dead (internal or external). X is working fine and the machine is not frozen.

However the same exact messages are showing also with the same kernel and the same machine in puppies that work fine on this laptop. Namely, puppy-5xx, Slacko, dpup etc. There Xorg.log has (from puppy-5xx)

... and since I'm at it, though rather a woof issue.
in all puppies "modbrobe --ignore-install/remove" is an "unrecognized command" even when the "FULL" version is used.
Is this intentional?_________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

So point 2 is partly wrong despite the '-i' option :
2.: [strike-through]there are no '--ignore-install|--ignore-remove' macros defined as options , but [/strike-through] they both are defined as '-i' ; passing the binary internal 'mit_ignore_commands' flag to the appropriate internal functions .
[/edit]

3.: as far as I know , Puppy uses the modprobe ^-FULL^ commands by default .
The first Racy still seems to use the /sbin/modprobe instead of /sbin/modprobe-BUSYBOX-NOT-USED ,
but for tinyRacy I can not check this from 431 , because the dotSFS are made with features , only a kernel 2.6.38+ seems to be able to access because of the new XZ/LZMA compression .

Dependent on your screen resolution , the 'delete' option appears directly under the mouse or not .

If you have a mouse , that tends to send dobble-click impulses thought you felt you clicked the drive icon only once ,
it sends the second signal to the pop-up menu and activates the menu-point under the mouse .

I would suggest an older or newer mouse , replace the batteries , clean or dirty the internal contacts of the mouse .

Nothing wrong with this (HP-badged Logitech) mouse! There's no contact bounce due to the opto-couplers. There's some wrong setting in the coding because all other Puppies, new & old, used on new & old machines do not exhibit this feature. There was some discussion, but I forget the outcome - if there was one. Perhaps BK was testing it on a flaky serial mouse just before he wrapped up his development cycle?! In short, it's unique.

From my little knowledge of MPlayer, the option "xv" enables full screen while the default produces the full screen effect that you said. However, "xv" requires Xorg and will not work in Xvesa.

Since my install can only use Xvesa, that left me no hope for "xv".

That was in MPlayer. I installed vlc and qt4 and got video full screen working.

ADDITIONAL: Racy can't use the old OpenOffice sfs4 that Barry uploaded with Puppy 4.31. It is working in other sfs4 puppies, so there must be a problem somewhere._________________Puppy user since Oct 2004. Want FreeOffice? Get the sfs (English only).

@raffy. Thanks for your help. You are right about the video driver. I had to revert to VESA when the system started desktop with black screen. But, I just xorgwizard'ed Noveau and now the player's video is as expected. Thanks again.

I saw the OOo problem as well. But, it may be due to some missing libs.

I sent a PM to Barry on potential missing libs requesting consideration.

Hope this helps._________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

This is probably not a problem which will concern many people but Racy has broken Mailwasher for Linux for me. It no longer saves the registration code on reboot and reverts to unregistered/trial mode. Apart from this it works as expected. I wonder if this is a kernel issue or issue with updated libraries?_________________Classic Opera 12.16 browser SFS package for Precise, Slacko, Racy, Wary, Lucid, Quirky, etc available here

There is another syntax for the second line with something like
"Failed to map the device" ; but to check this I have to boot another kernel with maybe different drivers loaded .
I have a
vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
product: NV18 Board Chip Rev A2
card and "Xorg (1-3-0,1-7-X,1-11-X)" and the "Xchips" and "Xvesa" (1-3-0) do run it , but not "Xnvidia" and almost all other kdrives [ with or without the appropriate vendorFramebuffer.ko 's inserted ] .
Funny , choosing 'chips' as Xorg driver , did start 'X' with max resolution (1600x1200) as the ^Lupu Xorg boot directly to desktop^ did - with the whole device section missing in xorg.conf . Racy Xorg or xorgwizard gives me 1024x768 in PUPMODE=5 .
That's it for now .

________________________________________

Another [ unproblematic ] occurrence is , that if

echo $LANG
de_DE@euro

is given ,
dc returns numbers like 123,456
comma instead of a dot for floats !

There are quite some scripts , that use "cut -f X -d '.'" to format the output of the 'dc' command to be useable for the 'expr' command ; example from /tmp/xerrs.log :

"grep 'dc ' /usr/sbin/* | grep 'cut'" in /usr/*/*[/*] and /etc/*/*
did not throw much and the scripts that show additionally have already LANG=C set . So background_reshape may be [ one of ] the last leftovers , that did not get updated for that until now .

may be the solution for the Xdialog warnings described in one of my former posts :

Quote:

I recompiled Xdialog from debian lenny , because there is no Xdialog for later debians , including the patch on my machine "uname -m 'i686'" with "./configure --with-gtk2" which installs to /usr/local and the Xdialog of bootmanager is working correctly now . The size of the binary is still 'ls -s 69KB" .
The only thing is
"(Xdialog:26076): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()"
that spits out .
